Believing in Yourself

I do not know if anyone out there can give me any help or advice. I am currently training for my PPL and about to go solo. However, although my instructor is happy with the standard of my flying and my landings, I am really struggling with believing in myself enough to go solo. I know I should just "suck it up" and go solo when he tries to send me but for some reason I just cannot believe in myself enough to say yes and go. I am comfortable with the take off, circuit, the RT, setting up the approach, it is just the actual landing that I do not have confidence in myself for. I know I should just do it when the chance presents itself and my lack of self belief is really becoming a problem and affecting my progress now. Giving up is not an option, it means too much to me. I need to overcome this so any help and advice would be really appreciated indeed.
